One reader took issue with disabled comments at my blog. I came across the idea recently and it resonated with me. I’m trying it out. There are plenty of free blogging services and places for people to respond to what… Continue Reading →
A big thanks to Christer Edwards for posting on the fantastic Firefox plugin called It’s All Text! I just started using it on the Fedora wiki and it is superb for large and complicated edits. Make sure you enter the… Continue Reading →
Two weeks ago at the FESCo meeting we did our third post mortem of the feature process, made a few minor tweaks to the process, and started accepting features for Fedora 11 this week! This is our best start yet… Continue Reading →
A discussion recently started on fedora-advisory-board list about the Fedora 11 schedule and turned to how much we have slipped in the past. Admittedly it is kind of hard to say because we haven’t diligently tracked or reviewed our planned… Continue Reading →
This report is impressive… receiving 7,872 new reports and resolving 7,802 bug reports in a single month while continuing to hold a backlog of 46,000 open bugs! This says two things to me… they have a process for triaging and… Continue Reading →
A great observation came out of a recent bug triage meeting by David Nalley who noted that “there is great information about the HOW, but not the WHY or SO WHAT [of why bug triage is important].” I took an… Continue Reading →

I recently got the urge to do a security review of a network I manage with a Linksys Router. It was running the latest version of dd-wrt with a set of unmodified (as best I knew) firewall rules. I had… Continue Reading →
Things are coming together for yet another Fedora release. Although this is the tenth Fedora release it is only the third iteration of the new feature process. From my vantage point the process is getting better though the level of… Continue Reading →
With the help of a few other folks I’ve been trying to help revitalize our weekly bug triage meetings and meet on a consistent basis. We’re meeting every Tuesday at 14:00 UTC (10 AM EDT) on #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode. net. … Continue Reading →
I sent the message below to fedora-test-list@redhat.com, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to get the word out here too. General information about Fedora bug triage is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers or feel free to contact me directly. Thanks to those of you… Continue Reading →
